Professor David Reiss spoke to Law360 about the call by nine state attorney generals for the replacement of Federal Housing Finance Agency acting director Edward DeMarco over his handling of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

However, this may not be as big of a problem as it seems, Professor Reiss commented: “It's hard to imagine that Ed DeMarco is taking big positions like that without the administration's at least tacit approval.”
